I have DSL Elite, and had a number of problems when it was first switched on. I had 3 calls to tech support in India, where they told me to do the same things I was doing on my own. Then, I'd get escalated to a level 2, here in the states, and those guys were awesome. Ran diagnostics, and scheduled a tech to come out to my house. He gets the full bandwidth from the central office to my house, and here I get the following stats:
